I live on the North Cotswold border in Worcestershire. Going for walks, wild swimming and gardening all inspire and help my work process.
After achieving a First Class Honors degree in Printed Textiles (2002), I became a Homeware Designer in London. Going freelance in 2012 has enabled me to work on illustration projects, collaborating with exciting companies and clients.
My motivation is the creative journey. My interest in creating original paintings and design lies in being present with my thoughts and emotions while creating and how that informs the relationship with my audience.
Bringing connection and emotional understanding on a deeper level is important because I want people to know they aren’t alone. We all go through challenging times and feeling connected through art is both inspiring and comforting in a deep and beautiful way.
Kitagawa Utamaro
Kitagawa Utamaro (喜多川 歌麿; c. 1753 – 1806) was a Japanese artist. He is one of the most highly regarded designers of ukiyo-e woodblock prints and paintings, and is best known for his bijin ōkubi-e "large-headed pictures of beautiful women" of the 1790s. He also produced nature studies, particularly illustrated books of insects.
Little is known of Utamaro's life. His work began to appear in the 1770s, and he rose to prominence in the early 1790s with his portraits of beauties with exaggerated, elongated features. He produced over 2000 known prints and was one of the few ukiyo-e artists to achieve fame throughout Japan in his lifetime. In 1804 he was arrested and manacled for fifty days for making illegal prints depicting the 16th-century military ruler Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and died two years later.
Utamaro's work reached Europe in the mid-nineteenth century, where it was very popular, enjoying particular acclaim in France. He influenced the European Impressionists, particularly with his use of partial views and his emphasis on light and shade, which they imitated. The reference to the "Japanese influence" among these artists often refers to the work of Utamaro.
